no.
did you compile mysql from source or you just installed .rpm?
if source, you must tell to php where is mysql, or to be more
precise, where is mysql root dir. i have mysql compiled with
--prefix=/opt2/local/mysql so php configuration option was
--with-mysql=/opt2/local/mysql
if you installed mysql form the rpm, then you don't have any
header files, and mysql root dir. is /usr. so, you have to
find the following files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7128 Oct 7 1998 mysql.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5406 Oct 7 1998 mysql_com.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 298 Oct 7 1998 mysql_version.h
(make it sure it's for you version of mysql), put them into
/usr/include or /usr/include/mysql or something like that
(play around, /usr/local/mysql/ etc) and then try to compile
php.
next thing your apache+php+mysql compilation may fail is when
apache is trying to find mysql libraries. there must be a full
path to mysql libs in /etc/ld.so.conf and /sbin/ldconfig must
be ran. this is my /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/lib
/opt2/local/mysql/lib
/opt2/local/mysql/lib/mysql
/opt/kde/lib
if you have your mysql lib in some dir. already mentioned in
/etc/ld.so.conf, then just run /sbin/ldconfig (as root, of
course).
and that't it. welcome to apache+php+mysql family.
